responsibility. well, who is the mystery man here who had the gun in his hand, who cooked the hammer of the gun, the bullet discharged from the gun, and it hit halyna and joel. who is the mystery man who did that? the mystery man is named alec baldwin. no question that it was a gun in his hand that went off and it killed halyna hutchins. no question about that. do you have knowledge that all actors always check the gun before using it in a scene? it isn t a matter of what all actors do. it is a matter of what industrywide management safety protocols that are accepted in and are supposed to be followed in a motion picture industry and on television, what they are required to do. now, mr. baldwin says, you know, in his world, it was not within the realm of possibility that there would be a live bullet in that gun.
